Talk:Patricide

Spoilers
Shouldn't that spoiler of a certain still recent movie be removed?

Genocide
"Compare with matricide (the killing of one's mother), filicide (the killing of a child by his or her parent), fratricide (the killing of one's sibling), regicide (the killing of a king), suicide (killing oneself) and homicide (killing another person)." Shouldn't there be genocide too? Best regards, --anon

Parricide v. patricide
Parricide and Patricide are different:

par·ri·cide  Audio pronunciation of "Parricide" ( P )  Pronunciation Key  (pr-sd), n.


 * 1. The murdering of one's father, mother, or other near relative.
 * 2. One who commits such a murder.

Parricide is the killing/murder of ones parents (or one who commits such an act). Patricide is the killing/murdering of ones father (specifically). I am spplitting the parricide and patricide articles.

Patricide & Matricide
Is there a word for someone who kills both of their parents? Drutt (talk) 01:19, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

Small change.
Changed the opening slightly, to pertain to the overall real issues in relation to that term. Patricide, the basics, have nothing to do with killing ones parents, but in forcefully fading out predecessors. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.209.46.186 (talk) 16:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Patricides in fiction
This section needs slimmed down. This shouldn't be a list of every fictional case of patricide every to have existed. Only notable cases of patricide like the story of Oedipus should be included.  Ol Yeller21 Talktome  06:24, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
